Lizzo is showing off her progress while silencing haters. In a triumphant post on Instagram on Thursday (July 3), the hitmaker shared side-by-side photos from before and after her weight loss, revealing the “truth” behind how she pulled off her transformation.

In both snaps, Lizzo poses in front of a mirror at a lymphatic massage center. Taken months apart, the Grammy winner looks visibly slimmer in the second photo.


“In light of all these magazines and blogs wanting me to be on ozempic soooo bad — here’s the truth!” she wrote in her caption. “I work my a– off, training 3x a week, daily sauna & cardio, adding animal protein back into my diet, hiring a chef who helps me meal prep and keeps track of what I put into my body in a calorie deficit, cutting out sugary Starbucks & full fat sodas & potato chips.”

Lizzo went on to say that she quit drinking for a long time, but is now back to indulging in alcohol because she “earned it.” “I play pickleball and hike and walk on the beach and move my body and dance and drink water,” she added. “I detox! Once a month! I also get holistic body work done, wood therapy, and lymphatic massage.”

The musician concluded, “I’m so happy and proud of what I’ve done, and no one can take that away from me.”

Lizzo has been open in the past few months about her fitness journey. In a recent Women’s Health cover story, she opened up about being inspired to shed some pounds after suffering severe back pain caused by her weight.

The artist — whose new album Love in Real Life drops later this year — also explained why she prefers to view her approach as a “weight-release journey,” rather than weight “loss.” “It’s okay to gain weight after you’ve released weight, because what you’re not going to do is shame me if my body changes again and I get bigger,” she told the publication.

Twenty One Pilots Reveal Tracklist, Release Date for ‘Breach’ Album

The Columbus duo previewed their eighth LP last month with "The Contract" single.

Twenty One Pilots announced the release date and tracklist for their upcoming eighth studio album, Breach. The LP will drop on Fueled By Ramen on Sept. 12, just days before they kick off the Clancy Tour: Breach 2025 stadium/amphitheater tour, which will launch just down the road from their Columbus, Ohio hometown in Cincinnati at the home of the FC Cincinnati soccer club, TQL Stadium on Sept. 18.

Singer Tyler Joseph announced the album’s rundown in a novel way on Wednesday (July 16), scratching out the 13-song tracklist with a pencil on a yellow legal pad. Last month, the band previewed the new LP with the roiling single “The Contract” after the duo — which also features drummer Josh Dun — teased in May that the upcoming release will thematically continue the narrative arc that began with 2015’s Blurryface and continued on 2018’s Trench, 2021’s Scaled and Icy and 2024’s Clancy.
